Brand new and soft opening on Mon 16th Nov, Be Pilates Wellness Studio has set up in a 100-year-old building just moments from the city centre, so the brickwork is the only thing in the place that has been around a while. Pick from Reformer and Tower Pilates, Mat Pilates, Yoga, Barre and Sound Baths, with just 8 beds in the Reformer room, which keeps classes small and leaves nowhere to hide at the back. New clients get 3 classes for £35, valid for 21 days from your first booking and one offer per person, which is plenty of time to find out which class leaves you walking funny.
